Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Aaron Hill recorded his second cycle of the season in the D'Backs win over the Milwaukee Brewers.

Aaron Hill recorded his 1,000the career hit with a first inning double, then followed it with a single in the third, a home run of off the Brewers' Randy Wolf in the fourth, and, finally, a triple to complete the cycle off of Livan Hernandez in the sixth.

Hill hit for the cycle back on June 18th against the Seattle Mariners.

He became only the second player since 1900 to hit for two cycles in a season. Babe Herman had two cycles back in 1931 with the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Kevin Youkilis didn't have exactly the best of debuts with the White Sox last night, going 1-4 in a loss to the Minnesota Twins.

The lineup card at the beginning of the game should have been an omen.

The White Sox spelled Kevin Youkilis' last name as "Youklis". The White Sox however got the name on his jersey correct and even got his old number 20 back from outfielder Jordan Danks. Danks was told after the Youkilis trade that, "you're not 20 anymore."

Ageless wonder and pitcher Jamie Moyer and the Toronto Blue Jays have agreed to a minor league deal.

Moyer will report to the Blue Jays' AAA affiliate in Las Vegas sometime this week. The Blue Jays will be the ninth team in Moyer's, 49, long career and his third in a month. He was with the Baltimore Orioles earlier in the month, but asked for his release after not being called up from the Orioles' AAA squad in Norfolk. Moyer pitched very well with Norfolk recording an ERA of 1.69 and 16 strikeouts with no walks.

The Jays, although, have made "no promises" to Moyer other than a few AAA starts, according to Rogers Sportsnet. The Jays have some pitching woes with Brandon Morrow, Drew Hutchison, and Kyle Drabek all being on the disabled list giving Moyer a good chance to be called up to Toronto.

President Barack Obama was in Boston for a fundraiser at Smyphony Hall on Monday and towards the end of his speech he decided to thank the Red Sox for trading Kevin Youkilis to his beloved Chicao White Sox.

The Chicago White Sox acquired third baseman Kevin Youkilis from the Red Sox yesterday for utility player Brent Lillibridge and pitcher Zach Stewart. It looks like a pretty good trade for the White Sox. They get an All Star player for next to nothing.

However, one young fan was crushed after learning that his favorite player, Brent Lillibridge, was included in the trade.

Hey, little man, Youk is a pretty good player, he's better than Lillibridge. I'm sure you'll like him just fine.

The Red Sox have traded third baseman Kevin Youkilis to the Chicago White Sox for pitcher Zach Stewart and a utility player.

The trade is expected to be made official after the White Sox game with the Milwaukee Brewers.

Youkilis was taken out of the game in the 7th inning of the Red Sox win against the Atlanta Braves after he hit an RBI triple. Manager Bobby Valentine said during the postgame press conference that Youkilis was lifted for a pinch runner because GM Ben Cherington told him "there's a situation pending"

Zach Stewart is 1-2 with an ERA of 6.00 with the White Sox this season. Stewart is 3-8 with an ERA of 5.92 in his career with the White Sox and the Toronto Blue Jays.

Philadelphia Phillies player Jim Thome hit a Major League record 13th walk-off home run last night and in the process won himself some extra cash.

Jonathan Papelbon blew the save in the ninth after the Tampa Bay Rays' Brooks Conrad hit a game tying single into right field. It was the first time this season that Papelbon allowed an earned run in a save situation.

In the dugout after the blown save, Papelbon offered $5,000 to the player that hits a walk-off home run. That's when Jim Thome came calling. Thome pinch hit for Papelbon and ripped a home run off of the Rays' Jake McGee into the left field seats. Thome told the Philadelphia Inquirer that he hadn't received any payment yet.

During an interview on WEEI radio in Boston, former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling said that his baseball fortune is "probably all gone" now due to his failed business venture, 38 Studios.

He also said in the interview that part of the blame should be placed on Rhode Island officials and Governor Lincoln Chafee.

Schilling admits that he was partly to blame for 38 Studios failing, but said that Chafee had a lot of blame due to the governor questioning the firm's solvency were harmful as Schilling tried to raise private capital to stay afloat.

Chafee, an independent, vocally opposed the state's plan to loan money to 38 Studios during his gubernatorial campaign in 2010, but became the "company's biggest cheerleader" after the deal was finalized.

Schilling goes on to blame Chafee even further when he accused him of failing to work with an investor who was willing to put an upwards of $20 million into the floundering company. The investor walked away after they became frustrated with Chafee's inaction.

Schilling made just over $114 million during his MLB career and he never took any money from the company, not even a salary.

"It's been kind of a surreal 60, 75 days," Schilling said of the company's collapse. "It's crushing and devastating to see it fail the way that it did." He also said that he never intended to hurt to workers of 38 Studios.

Schiiling also said that losing his fortune will be a life changing thing for his family. "I would imagine the next foreseeable time our lives is going to be consumed by this. It's a life changing thing."

Schilling also said of his family, "will probably start to change and be very different for us."

38 Studios closed its doors in May of 2012, laying off its workers in Rhode Island and Maryland.

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Joel Peralta was ejected in the eighth inning against the Washington Nationals after umpires found an illegal substance inside his glove.

As Peralta was entering the game, umpires gathered around the mound and examined Peralta's glove. One umpire walked off the mound with glove in hand and Peralta was ejected before he even threw a pitch.

Peralta is 0-2 with two saves and a 3.81 ERA in 34 games this season with the Rays.

With the month of June upon us, it brings around a new summer season and high school graduations. A milestone in the life of a teenager as they now embark on something truly remarkable.

Well, Kirk Gibson doesn't think so.

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson has opted to miss his son Cam's high graduation in Michigan because "You're supposed to graduate."

According to Gibson, Cam's mom and the rest of the family attended his graduation and Cam will meet up with Kirk at some point next week. Cam defended his famous father's decision on Twitter saying, "All these reporters need to stay out of my family business, i knew Dad wouldnt make graduation he has to pay the bills somehow, love you Dad"

It's this kind of demeanor that turned around the Diamondback's fortunes last season. Gibson is a no nonsense manager and a damn good one at that, but you need to show up at your child's graduation. It's a pretty important milestone.

At least the D-Back's got the win against the AL West leading Texas Rangers. So it was all worth it.

The Oakland A's and Manny Ramirez have decided to cut ties after the team released the troubled slugger before he even suited up for a game.

Ramirez requested to be released and the team granted his wish on Friday.

The 40 year old Ramirez signed a minor league deal with Oakland back in February and played 17 games with the A's Triple-A affiliate Sacramento. Ramirez served a 50 game suspension for a second positive drug test.

Ramirez was supposed to serve a 100 game suspension, but Commissioner Bud Selig cut the suspension down to 50 games after Ramirez sat out almost all of last season.

The MLB worst Sand Diego Padres made some strides in hoping to become a contender in the future by drafting lefty Terrance Owens.

Problem is Owens hasn't played baseball since high school.

Owens is the starting quarterback for the Toledo Rockets and has been a decent one at that. He threw 18 touchdown passes to only three interceptions. However, the Rockets have a new head coach and might make a change at quarterback.

Owens was not considered a two-sport athlete in high school. He wasn't a stellar baseball player and he doesn't play for the Rockets baseball team, so its a real head scratcher as to why the Padres selected him.

But why should we question the worst team in the Majors? I'm sure they know what they are doing.
